Show HN: DRM-Free Books

After several years of mandatory DRM lockdowns from most commercial book sources, now authors have a choice when it comes to DRM for their books. Pick authors and books that are DRM-free, or download DRM-free classics that are out of copyright.

I don't see any mention here of books sold by Tor. All their books are DRM-free.

I added it to the list of DRM-free sources at the end, thanks!

Useful list. I wish more book stores made DRM status obvious before checkout.

Nice. Good to know that Tor books are DRM-free.
